DAE Hate HTC's Web Browser?

I was perfectly satisfied with the stock Android browser on my OG Droid. HTC's browser is perfectly serviceable except for one fatal flaw: it prefills "http://www."

What if the website I'm visiting doesn't start with "www"? It doesn't even matter. I can't train myself to not type "www." and so I always get "http://www.www." which frustrates me to no end! Nevermind when I'm just trying to type a search in the browser bar.

Of course I switched browsers to Dolphin, but I don't really care for that browser either. I just want the stock Froyo or Gingerbread broswer.

Did i mention gesture controlled back/forward for every tab? Power user options in advanced settings? Built in brightness controls that dont affect your system brightness settings. Volume up/down can be set to scroll the page, or navigate through the tabs, or just plain old volume control. Tons more.

This post links a themed, deodexed version of the froyo browser. I was totally content with this browser on my Droid OG. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to install it but it's working beautifully.

My only issue is the theme. I'm not crazy about the colors. At least now I have hope (and a usable browser), now I just need to find an unmodified froyo browser.apk.
